Recommendations:

Chambers UK 2018

"At the top of his game. Incredibly impressive." "Only used for the most significant cases with difficult points of medical causation. He is easy to get along with."

"Despite Nigel being someone at the very top of his profession, he remains very client-focused, down to earth and approachable. He has a refreshing approach which is rarely seen in someone of his calibre and is equally at ease speaking to vulnerable clients as he is speaking to difficult experts, other counsel and his instructing solicitor." "He is very bright and is a very impressive advocate. He is also incredibly approachable and works alongside his instructing solicitors to achieve the best result for clients."
